Huddlestone has been the epitome of a player perennially on the verge of a move away from White Heart Lane. He’s highly rated, yet can never seen to get a steady run of games and as an England international the time may be right for him to finally take that leap and head somewhere that will be able to give him what he needs.
He has now been given permission to speak with the Black Cats ahead of a £5 million move and will make a refreshing change from Paolo Di Canio’s recent surge of signing little known players from abroad.
Spurs are keen to cash in on the 26-year-old in order to raise funds for future transfers and had even offered him to Aston Villa in a part exchange deal to bring Christian Benteke to the club, but Villa rejected the approach.
Blessed with a wide range of passing and a thunderous shot – he would be an asset to any side, unfortunately for him, and to a lesser extent Spurs too, they are able to attract a calibre of player that you could say is a rung or two higher on the chart than the former Forest man.
